SUCCESSFUL CAR HEATING.

There is no longer any doubt that rail
way cars can be successfully heated and
lighted. An experiment recently tried on
the Boston & Albany railroad settles that
matter beyond question. A train OF sew
eral cars was run between New York and
Boston, distance of 24O miles, without
Bit of oil being used for lighting or piece
of coal for heating. Nevertheless. the cars
were we'll lighted and comfortably warmed.
Both the company and the passengers were
eminently satisfied, and this one road, at
least, will. in the future. do away with the
death dealing stove and kerosene lamp.
The mea rs for heating and lighting in this
case were steam and electricity. 1t was
found entirely practicable to utilize suffi-
cient steam from the engine to warm the
cars without increasing the consumption of
coal. The difficulty of joining the pipes
between the cars was easily over
come, and an entirely safe and salts
factory method Of heating was the
result. The lighting was even more
easily accomplished. Storage cells charged
with electricity sufficient to last twelve
hours were, placed beneath each car and
light bright enough to enable newspaper
to be read in any part of the car was OBJ
tanned. 1t having thus been demonstrated
beyond cavil that successful and safe heat
ing and lighting are possible, the only thing
that remains is the discovery of some means
to induce railroads TO adopt the innovation.
Some roads can be depended upon to be
sufficiently wide awake to their own inter
ests and those of their patrons to do away
with the old murderous methods of heating
and lighting, but others, mindful of the ex-
pense involved, will refuse to do so unless
compelled. Towards these the law should
be brought into play, and before another
winter comes they should find no evasion
possible. There is a bill looking in this di-
rection now pending before the New Y ork
legislature which might well serve as d
model Those states which have not al
ready made provision for forcing the rail-
roads to thus protect the lives Of their
patrons cannot give the matter considera-
ton too soon.

ards This the saloon men of this city well
knew. There are two classes of Saloons as
many well know. One class intend, and do SO
far as they are able to, comply with the law in
all things connected with the sale of liquors,
and in so doing greatly mitigate the evils of
the trade. The other class and unfortu-
nately it is much the larger class, look upon
all laws seeking to restrain or control the
trade as unjust and oppressive, and intend
to and will violate the laws so restraining
and controlling the sale Of liquors wherever
it seems for their interest so to do. This
class of saloon men always oppose the cleo
ton OF any person whom they suspect will in
sist upon q vigorous enforcement of the law
or any part of it. And it is also true that
with the exception of few of the better class
of saloon men the whole saloon force of the
bined against me and thus secured an easy
victory. I openly proclaimed that l would

temperate persons enforced. They defeated

services TO preach and exhort in her place.
The result was that Vancouver was visited
with such religious awakening as has
never been known on the golden shores Of
the Pacific coast. 1t was something like
the Pentecostal season in Jerusalem when
PETER conducted the revival. Mrs. Mol
LoY's name was in every mouth and re-
ligious hearts were running over with graft
tude to the jealous little woman. She ell
joyed notorlety that would have made
SAM JONES envious. But one day there
came stranger along that way who
dropped in to one of Mrs. MoLLoY's meet
ings. When she got up to preach the
stranger was startled by her likeness
to woman he had once known
down in Southern Missouri He waited
until the meeting had closed and then
edged his way up through the crowd to get
a good look at the evangelist. A close in
spection convinced him that his first sur
misses were correct. The noted woman
preacher was no other than the same woman
who had been several years ago arrested by
the Missouri authorities for being an aces.
sorry to the murder of her paramours wife.
The principa! in the crime, when arrested,
made confession and was taken from
Jail by q mob, and according to the Mis-
souri, style of administering justice, was
swung up to the most convenient tree.
Another female accessory, the adopted
daughter of the Vancouver evangelist at
last accounts was still in prison, but Mrs.
MoLLoY is still at large warning sinners to
flee from the wrath to come. When a
publication of these facts appeared in
Portland paper, Vancouver society was
good deal shaken up. 1t divided off into
factions, one side denouncing the woman
as an impoSter. the other clinglng to
her garments and protesting that she is an
angel. Mrs. MoLLoY took the whole mat
ter very coolly. She owned up that she was
the woman whom the Missouri officer had in
tow, bur says that she was innocent of the
murder. She confessed that she did love
the murdered woman's husband, but says
her love for him WAS as pure and true as
an Angels" The only two preachers i'll
Vancouver. one a Presbyterian and the
other Methodist take sides with Mrs.
MoLLoY. They assert that 80 per cent.
of the Christian people of the territory do
the same thing. They take the view of it
that the only way to Judge of a tree is by
its fruits and according to that standard
Mrs. MoLLoY deserves credit. Granting
that she is innocent of the charge of being
all accomplish in the murder of Mrs. Ora
HAM, still it is queer condition of relig-
ious life which recognizes woman of her
past history as fitted for the work of re-
vivalist. MARY MAGDALENE was for
given her sins. but she never received
authority to go into the pulpit to preach
repentance to other sinners.

Interstate and the Coal Trade.

New YORK DlSpatcn.
At the Fifth Avenue hotel to-day T met
Robert Law, of Chicago, who is one of the
heaviest coal dealers in the West. He has a
well-rounded stomach, broad, rudy face and
pointed gray chin whiskers. He told me that
he had come to New York to endeavor to as
certain from the railroad managers, who have
been in session here, just bow the Interstate
commerce law will affect the coal trade. He
said to me:
1.-The railroad men themselves hardly know
how to construe the law. For one thing it
will be godsend to the btuminous coal men
in the West. The rates will be raised on an
thracite coal to Chicago to such price that
Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota will be almost
cut off from its use. The present price OF
anthracite coal in Chicago is S., Is per ton
Under the Interstate commerce bill it will
go up to 50 or $40 per ton, and possibly
higher Bituminous coal sells in Chicago at
1928 and So. Is per ton. There are extensive
bituminous coal fields in Indiana, Illinois and
Iowa. And the product at this price will be
Immediately in demand. 1t appears to me
that the interstate commerce bill was pass ed
and framed for the railroads. There was not
a railroad in this country that sent to Wash

Senator Cullom thinks that the bill may make
him president or vice president. 1t is more
likely to retire him to obscurity when the
farmers and the country people discover the

CHICAGO CARPENTERS.
They and Their Former Employers
Unable to Agree.

CHICAGO, April 6.-Two hundred and
fifty carpenter contractors. representing
four fifths of all the employers of carpen-
tiers in the city. held meeting this after
noon and agreed to concede some Of
the demands of their 5000 striking
men. but the compromise was tonight re-
Jected by the carpenters executive COM
mittee. Before the employers meeting
was called to order a committee of three
from the strikers appeared in the hall with
written offer to settle the strike if the eight
hour system was enforced and wages fixed
at So cents an hour, which amounts to ap
average advance of 10 cents per hOur-ak
men to be subject to discharge for incom.
potency. but other causes of grievance to be
settled by arbitration. Both the committee
and the communication were ignored by the
master carpenters. A motion to appoint a
committee to confer with the executive
council OF the Carpenters union was de-
feated as not in accordance with the reso-
luton passed by the National Build
ers and Contractors convention pro-,
hiblting members of the EMPLOYERS
association from recognizing the union of
the employees. 1t was decided TO deal with
the men individually, each contractor to
notify his employees of the action of the
meeting. The eight-hour proposi-
I
ton was almost unanimously
agreed upon. A motion to fix
the lowest wages Of the carpenters at 80
cents an hour, and to grade the wages of
the men from that up according to ability
met with some opposition. but was finally
adopted. The leaders of the strikers were
| not pleased with the result OF
the meeting OF employees. Tonight
the carpenters executive committee
issued notice that. In view of the fact
that no communication or recognition has
been received from the bosses. it is ordered
that no carpenter belonging to an organiza-
ton be allowed to go to work until further
instructions" 1t is thought by many
that the strike will be a protracted
one. and that all the building
trades will suffer greatly in consequence.
About 1000 strikers were detailed on COM
mittees to-day to ski1miSh through the diff
ferent parts of the city and ascertain
whether or not there were carpenters at
work. Only a. few scattered individuals
were found working.

To the Editor of the Globe.
England seems bent on degrading the Tr sh
tenantry to the abject position of the Russian
scrf.
The newly drafted coercion bill is the natural
product OF an English brain. Two of the prime
movers in this measure lent aid and sympa-
thy to DESTROY and sever this union. In the
dark days of Americas history England
showed her hatred of republic and her hos
tility to liberty. IT'S true she paid SIS, 00O,-
600 indemnity for wrongs inflicted, but at
the same time she also lowered our pride in
the Mason and Slidell dispute, which she

An Absurd Law.

The new game law. so far as it prohibits
the shooting Of ducks and geese in the spring,
is brilliant specimen Of fool legslatison.
The absurdity of the law is too manifest to
require explanation. The most absurd thing
about it, however. is that a farmer legisla-
ture should prohibit farmers from shooting
game in the spring for the express and sole
accommodation and benefit of city sports
men. The law In all probability will prove a
dead letter, aud its existence on the statute
books will cease to exist before the adjourn
ment OF the next legislature.
